Week 2 of the county squads are here and here is your
@thecricketdraft
sheet to cross reference all the players involved in this weeks action, again these are predicted lineups and hope they can help you build them squads!
So we have built a very rough test site and have only added a couple of pages, those first pages being all the county streams! You can go directly to the county channel or find the game you want to watch by selecting live today!
I am delighted to announce that this idiot in cricket is no longer solo! I’d like to introduce
@maximidds

We want to use this platform for fun and to share our love with the game with you guys, but we also want to use it for good. If you’re struggling, not feeling good or aren’t feeling in a good place then please talk to someone. the amount of good it does is indescribable. (1/?)
Here we are (again sorry that it’s slightly later) but week 3 of the county squads being released! I am still working on the website side of our little channel and hope to have those linked there soon! Again these are a prediction!

This is "Leslie Ethelbert George Ames CBE", he was a WK-Batter for Kent & England; he scored 100 Centuries and holds many records within cricket.
Thanks to a kind man earlier, I learnt more about him and found out that he used to live in the house that the kind man lives in now!

Went for an early morning bowl for around an hour. The quality isn’t great but you can make it out enough. probably the best ball I bowled all morning 😅
Thank you for all the feedback so far on this! We will be aiming to get them out earlier when squads are announced! (Although Ben has to remake it as he decided to press “don’t save” 🤦🏼♂️😂)
Suppose I best make my fantasy team now 👀
Still building your

So we are now only 1 WEEK away from the start of this years
@CountyChamp
season!!
Just like many of you I cannot wait for it to kick off so I want to know who you guys are keeping an eye on in particular, it can be a player or a whole team!
GO!
This game is honestly amazing and moments like this really show me and others just how much Cricket can bring people who don’t even know each other together. Happy Sunday everyone 🧡
Got some very exciting plans and ideas for this account going forward. I know I’ve not been the best with it since starting but now the itch is too big not to scratch!
Keep your eyes open and Stay tuned for more! 👀🏏🧡
I got to play the sport I love with my brother on Sunday, the same brother that at the beginning of the year didn’t even like or have any time for cricket. Little did I know I’d be taking him to his first games and even playing alongside him.
dream achieved man 🥹🧡
Our captain 👑
This game is for everyone, no matter who you are and if you feel differently, then this game has no place for you. It has so much to offer and it’s only right that every single person has an equal opportunity to experience those offerings. Love you all - Mathel 🧡
And, that house is merely seconds away from mine. That man didn't have to tell me where he lived or any of what he told me really, but he could see that I love the game and he wanted to share an amazing piece of information and history with me.
It’s Friday and that means only one thing… CRICKET!!! Not long now until round 4 kicks off and we wanna know what your
@thecricketdraft
teams are looking like?!
Settle something for us here at IdiotsInCricket.

How do you know cricket season is here? Well I’ve just washed all my whites ready for what could potentially be my first game next Saturday! I can’t wait 🥰🧡
So it’s that time again, gameweek! and you know what that means! It’s
@thecricketdraft
time! Here’s my team but I’m thinking about playing double captain because I have a feeling both Pope and Abbott are going to have a field day against Kent, what do you guys think? - Mathel

Just watched the interview
@nassercricket

@benstokes38
and I cannot wait for the Ashes man!! also hearing Ben say that Jof not bowling with a red ball before the ashes is the first he’s heard gives me goosebumps. jof will be cookingggggggggg
Here to confirm Kent are going to finals day, Fred klaasen is the greatest bowler to have ever lived and Daniel bell Drummond is by far the greatest uncapped batsman to ever grace the game
